Bill overview
This bill, the Prevent Harmful Algal Blooms Act, directs the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to establish ‘National Centers of Excellence’ focused on researching, preventing, responding to, and mitigating harmful algal blooms. These centers must demonstrate expertise, collaboration with local and federal agencies, and be located in areas significantly impacted by these blooms. NOAA will consult with a task force, ensure regional balance in designations, and avoid duplicating existing research, with designations lasting five years and subject to review and potential renewal.
